Sorting device for analyzing biological reactions puts the power of a lab in a researcher’s pocket

Sorting device for analyzing biological reactions puts the power of a lab in a researcher’s pocket Researchers have demonstrated a new microfluidic sorting device that rapidly analyzes millions of biological reactions. Smaller than an iPod Nano, the device analyzes reactions a 1,000-times faster and uses 10 million-fold less volumes of reagent than conventional state-of-the-art robotic [...]
